A HUGE shoutout to the heroes of our communities—our local volunteer firefighters! 🇺🇸🚒

A heartfelt thank you to Hempfield Township, Bovard VFC Station 84, and the Carbon Volunteer Fire Department for helping us take this year's tribute to another level.

These incredible men and women not only volunteer countless hours to protect our communities, but they also took the time to help us honor and remember our Fallen Heroes. Their support helped create a truly meaningful experience for our Gold Star Families, Veterans, and community.

If you see these firefighters around town, please take a moment to shake their hand and thank them—not only for their service to our communities, but also for standing with us to ensure the sacrifices of our nation's heroes are never forgotten.

Thank you for helping us bring remembrance home.
